in the base makefile for my port,

MAKE_ENV = CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DMY_VARIABLE"

but -DMY_VARIABLE does not show up in the building process.
I just see my CFLAGS from make.conf.  make -V MAKE_ENV
looks correct.

what am I doing wrong?

I discovered MAKE_ENV after doing

CFLAGS += -DMY_VARIABLE

which wasn't passed to sub-makes either.  It should be, considering
many ports try this.

find /usr/ports -name Makefile -exec grep -l '^CFLAGS' \{} \;
